Pokemon Company and Niantic started field test of Pokémon GO in Japan

Pokémon GO is geolocation mobile game using the GPS function of the smartphones. Players become the pokemon trainer, catch pokemon in the reality world, bring them up and can confront other players. It's just the geolocation game that combined the Pokemon series with Niantic's Ingress.

They adopt them for development with feedback from testers, and will increase the number of people of testers progressively. However, unfortunately the test is carried out only in Japan.
